This always cracks me up. Western society is not based on freedom, its based on laws. Every single day there are a hundred different things I would like to do but I can't. Adding another inconsequential one to the list to help keep people safe and all of a sudden the freedom fighters come out of the woodwork.

He'll make out like a bandit, unfortunately.
Seems like Ezra may have more pressing financial concerns:

Saw Trump pillaging Americans in his legal fight for personal gain so thought, why can't I get in on the action.

He got a lot of attention in atom and peewee as a child prodigy, and then did not make AAA/AA in Bantam and had to play community... there were rumors around this that I won't repeat.

I only know this because he was in some of the same posts and articles as a friend's child (who also fizzled out in Bantam and didn't get drafted.)

Ironically given Hinshaw's address last night all he's done is pretty much terminate outdoor hockey this winter.

Kids were playing shinny every where, and disbanding if the numbers got too high or when told. Now with more succinct guidelines and a very clear cut precedent it's pretty much done.

It’s your health. Nope ..... sorry Ocean. We don’t wear masks for ourselves, it’s to protect others. What a moron. Not surprised he didn’t know that though. Good on the cops for teaching him appropriate conduct and respect. There is a way to carry yourself and way too many people nowadays have not been taught this. When an officer of the law asks for your name you shouldn’t ignore the request and argue about a public health order that the police have nothing to do with.

I'm sure that someone named Ocean spends a large part of his life trying to convince people that his name is in fact Ocean -- like the ocean. Then, he shows up somewhere only to find out that they wrote down his name as Sean anyway.

I wonder if Ezra’s bank has realized that he can’t lie with impunity. There appears to be a reckoning coming with regard to the baseless accusations of election fraud in the US.

The president has immunity from prosecution, but not his supporters.

No way, Orca definitely has it the worst. Playing hockey dude would get chirped for everything. "Whales can't skate, get back in the Ocean" or if he was showing any body fat he'd end up being kicked out of every game for fighting.

Weisblatt family statement on social media.



I'm thinking a family advisor (read: agent) may have persuaded them.

Absolutely. This is an attempt to try and cover their own asses, however this has zero credibility for representation of Ocean’s stance

I can't find his mom's facebook but the scuttlebutt, if you will, is that she's a fervid anti-masker, per her FB postings. So I'm thinking it's a CYA thing, for his brother, and that they had help drafting that from the Sharks.

Sure, but regardless of what their views are, their “one f###### kid” just tarnished their image in a major way

This probably isn't going the way Ocean expected.
